[IAEP] [support-gang] How do I nominate Luke Faraone to run for Sugar Labs Oversight Board?

5) Noting my own platform has not changed since a year ago:

Rome was not built in a day.  However this coming year I will also be 
urging more and more teachers to self-organize under the banner of 
"Realness Alliance" -- or any other banner, Mel's POSSE work, or 
http://teachersWithoutBorders.org is really cool, etc -- but 
http://Realness.org is the best effort I've personally seen to date to 
giving teachers a powerfully coherent seat at the table of our global 
open education revolution, building a powerfully nonpartisan network of 
teachers allied with OLPC/Sugar but that goes even beyond.  We're all 
teachers after all, all 7 billion of us -- and the fact that people like 
Sameer Verma and I have just induced possibly almost 100 such 
LESS-technical-but-just-as-GENUINE-contributors to attend 
http://olpcSF.org/CommunitySummit2010 in late October (the biggest 
community/volunteer summit in the history of our young movement) is 
proof this promising strategy's finally going somewhere -- do join us 
for the ride :)
